No list of spyware/viruses

I have 8.0.298.035 ZASS and since I renewed my scans run fine, but when I see ZoneAlarm in my tool bar it does nothing when I click on it. Nothing pops up for me to view what ZA found. This is very strange and I cannot figure out why it's happening, so I've come here for help. I've had ZASS since it came out. Thanks in advance for any help!

XP SP2
1.8gHz processor
1G RAM
PC about 1 year old<hr></blockquote>Welcome to the ZoneAlarm User Forum..
The Best advice I can give you is to Try to Keep your Windows XP Computer Software Up to Date in order to make sure you are Fully Protected..
1.) First Make sure Windows XP if Fully Updated by Microsoft for FREE..
Click on the Start Button in the Lower Right side of your Screen,

Then Click &quot;UPDATE Windows&quot;, this will download and Update many Needed MicroSoft Windows Files includin Service Pack 3 and
many Needed Security Bug

2. On your current ZA, UNcheck &quot;Load ZA... at startup&quot; (under Overview --&gt; Preferences tab)3. Reboot the Computer. So that vsmon.exe/TrueVector will be removed from Memory
4.) Install the new update (clean or upgrade) and Accept the default Setting, Auto-Learn Mode and Choose Trusted Zone, not Internet Zone..NOTICE:Please note that ZASS and ZAXS
do not play nice with many overlapping security tools (even if disabled). To troubleshoot ZASS/ZAXS issues remove
the other Security programs
and install them back once you see that ZA works as it should. For example,Norton/Symantec, McAfee,

Re: No list of spyware/viruses

Wow, I appreciate the quick reply and all the info!!

I've used ZASS like I said since it came out and 3 installs/updates/renewal on this PC and the previous PC w/o incident until the last one 0.8.298.035 Also why is it needing more resources to run (pretty hoggish IMO)? In fact I had to stop ZA from running on Start Up due to my desktop taking forever to load. BTW I have absolutely no issues with my PC and it rocks and rolls for a cheap PC! lol

I'm one who doesn't use Automatic Updates as I had it screw up $1200 PC in the past so bad (mostly SP2 update did most of the damage), I got fed up chasing down all the issues and bought another PC. LOL And I'm pretty tech savvy. Personally, I do NOT want SP3 on this PC, as I've seen how it doesn't play nice with a lot of things. So if an MS update is causing me not to view what ZA finds during scans, do you know which one is it so I can DL it? Or will I have to give up on ZA, because I don't want to have all the updates on my PC, which I really don't want to do. Perhaps I can DL the previous version?

Also I have never had anything else but ZA on my PCs for years and its all one ever needs.
